April is National Poetry Month and we're encouraging our patrons to experience this form of literature.
If your last poetry experience was in one of your old high school English classes, you might be surprised to know that so much about poetry has changed! Even the idea of what constitutes a poem has changed, so you might find something more inspiring and more memorable when you read poetry from this fresh perspective.
April Reading Challenge
This month we challenge our staff and our patrons to read poetry or read a play.
Did you discover that you enjoy some forms of poetry? Or that you really like the extra details you get from reading a play you've seen on the stage?
We'd love to hear about your experience reading poetry and plays this month!
